> When down-conversion is required, the consumer might fail consuming messages
> under certain conditions. Couple such cases are outlined below:
> (1) When consuming from a compacted topic, it is possible that the consumer
> wants to fetch messages that fall in the middle of a batch but the messages
> have been compacted by the cleaner. For example, let's say we have the
> following two segments. The brackets indicate a single batch of messages and
> the numbers within are the message offsets.
> Segment #1: [0, 1, 2], [3, 4, 5], [6, 7, 8]
> Segment #2: [9, 10, 11], [12, 13, 14]
> If the cleaner were to come in now and clean up messages with offsets 7 and
> 8, the segments would look like the following:
> Segment #1: [0, 1, 2], [3, 4, 5], [6]
> Segment #2: [9, 10, 11], [12, 13, 14]
> A consumer attempting to fetch messages at offset 7 will start reading the
> batch starting at offset 6. During down-conversion, we will drop the record
> starting at 6 it is less than the current fetch start offset. However, there
> are no messages in the log following offset 6. In such cases, we return the
> `FileRecords` itself which would cause the consumer to throw an exception
> because it does not understand the stored message format.
> (2) When consuming from a topic with transactional messages, down-conversion
> usually drops control batches because these do not exist in V0 and V1 message
> formats. If there are no message batches following the control batch in the
> particular segment (or if we are at the end of the log), we would again get
> no records after down-conversion and will return the `FileRecords`. Because
> the consumer is not able to interpret control batches, it will again throw an
> exception.
